A Hot Kiss on a Summer Night

At graduation, Jiang Yan was dragged by a friend to a voice actor fan event.

When she got a good look at the voice actor, Jiang Yan frowned.

Why did this handsome man look so familiar? He looked just like her high school deskmate.

The next second, the handsome man curved his lips into a smile. "So you're a fan of mine, too?"

Jiang Yan was stunned!

Back in high school, Xu Yan had excelled in both looks and grades. He was simply too distant and reserved, like a beautiful plant that shunned the light.

But the man before her was dazzlingly bright. It was hard to connect him with the aloof person in her memories.

After reuniting following a long separation and spending time together a few times, Jiang Yan realized she had fallen for him.

Nervously, she asked her friend, "What should I do?"

Her friend asked seriously, "How were you two before?"

Jiang Yan: "He barely spoke to me in high school."

Her friend: "Huh?"

Jiang Yan: "And during all four years of college, I barely kept in touch with him."

Her friend: "Tsk."

Jiang Yan: "A few days ago, I accidentally went on a blind date with one of his coworkers."

Her friend: "Well... maybe you should stop liking him."

After thinking it over carefully, Jiang Yan decided to confess.

On the day she planned to confess, she drank to work up her courage, but while she was barely conscious, she took the initiative and kissed him.

Her friend, watching from behind a tree, started sweating.

This was over. His affection level had to have dropped into the negatives.

But that worry soon vanished,

because Xu Yan took the initiative, wrapped an arm around her waist, and pulled her tightly against him.

Bonus scene:

One afternoon during their senior year of high school, Jiang Yan woke from a nightmare and looked pitifully at Xu Yan. "We'll definitely be in different places for college. I'm going to miss you so much."

Xu Yan stayed silent, but in his heart, he made up his mind about certain things.

At the very beginning,

one spoke without meaning anything by it, while the other took it to heart.

[He Falls for Her in Secret]

Coming next: Tonight, I Fall

Jiang Zhixin was a pampered heiress, the apple of her family's eye.

Until she was sixteen, when her stepfather brought home his seventeen-year-old son.

Her stepbrother was the undisputed campus heartthrob: handsome, with a frosty air, like a handful of pristine mountain snow.

He politely called her his little sister, patiently taught her to paint, and silently picked up the broken porcelain whenever she threw a tantrum.

But Jiang Zhixin couldn't stand him, because he took some of her mother's affection away from her.

Before long, she began seducing her stepbrother.

The shy, quiet boy was in his teens, and after her long, relentless teasing, he finally kissed her of his own accord.

His eyelashes trembled as he closed his eyes. He was unbearably innocent.

Meanwhile, a hidden phone was recording.

Jiang Zhixin took the secretly recorded video and tearfully accused her stepbrother of harassing her.

When confronted, his eyes were bloodshot, but he pressed his lips together and knelt without saying a word, letting his father's fists rain down on him.

She got what she wanted: the father and son were thrown out of the mansion.

After graduating from college, Jiang Zhixin's business partner ran off with their money.

She scraped by and found a job in event planning.

At a glamorous banquet, her boss respectfully introduced the distinguished man beside him. "This is the project initiator, Mr. Ji."

Looking at the man's cold, handsome face, Jiang Zhixin felt her scalp go numb.

After the event, she messaged her best friend: [Help! My former stepbrother, the guy I dumped, is now my client!]

The other person sent back a question mark.

[Should I just go sleep with him? I want to get some money out of him. I'm so broke I'm dizzy.]

When no reply came for a long time, Jiang Zhixin sensed something was wrong.

She slowly looked up, and her world came crashing down!

The person across from her was the very stepbrother she'd just added!

-

After she went to great lengths to get what she wanted, she found the experience so good that she craved him and took the initiative to ask him out again.

But the man looked down at her and refused with a half-smile. "Little sister, who are you planning to show the recording to this time?"

Only then did Jiang Zhixin realize... she'd been played!
